    Re: Cognos Audit Reporting retention settings

    What is the default retention setting for the Cognos Audit Reporting and can it be changed?

    I believe once your audit database has been created and CA has been configured to write to it (along with the relevant logging levels being set), the audit data generated will remain in the database unless you decide to prune it. There used to be an Auditdb cleanup utility IBM__AUDITDBCleanup but I'm not sure if this is still present in CA 12.x.

    Cheers!

    There is no Cognos Audit Reporting retention settings. The audit data generated remains in the database unless you decide to prune it.  We ship an Audit db cleanup tool since 12.0.4 with installer. Administrators can manually run clean up to delete old records. 

    Cheers!
